Boots Haul - I accidentally spent some money!

Before I went on holiday I was looking for a makeup base to take as I knew my normal foundation would be too thick and I didn't want to go completely free of a base at least until 4 days in.

I admit I'm rubbish with makeup. I don't really know what does what. I slap it on and hope for the best.

Boots had a 3 for 2 deal on so I thought i'd take advantage.

Over the past year I've really been into primers and do think they help my make up last better. I picked up the Lumi Magique from L'Oreal.

I haven't used this out in the real world yet but I don't think I like it. It has a bit of sparkle (the illuminating bit?)

It seems to go on really white. I'm a bit afraid of it. Has anyone used it?

I'm planning on using it as my base for halloween under my white facepaint.

I don't know the difference beyween a BB and CC cream and a tinted moisturiser. I'm sure they all have some amazing features and i'm missing out but I got sucked in buy this Nude Magique BB Cream When I swatched it in store, It really did seem to vanish but now i've got it home it seems a bit, bitty and patchy.

It comes out purple and then blends to skin tone. I haven't used this out of the house as yet, I love the idea of it and it does seem really light.

I think i need to try it with some powder and other make up. I did pick up a slightly darker tone than I would normally as I knew I was going away.

My Final 3 for 2 Item is the Nude Magique CC cream in the green tone. I almost didn't get this but I'm glad I did as it's my favourite of the things I bought.

I decided it would be good for holiday as even if I didn't burn my face (I didn't) It'd tone down any redness from heat and it does.

It doesn't make me look like a ghost on photo's and it goes on really nicely and doesn't seem patchy like I think the BB cream does.

My final purchase was a Maybeline Baby lips in a bright pink. I already have a clear one that I really like and you can never go wrong with a bit of hot pink.

I didn't really use this and It'll probably sit in the bottom of my makeup bag but I love the idea of it. I do wish it had SPF in it. I think if it had I would have used it during the day.

What do you think? Have you tried any of these products?

I've got the CC cream but in the purple and swear by it. No need for powder with it. They do an orange one which I made the mistake of buying. Orange is an understatement. Supposed to make your skin radiant. I'd say more oompaloompa

I saw the orange one and wondered who would need that! I love the green CC cream, it was good on holiday to counteract my redness. I've not used the BB cream yet but might try the purple CC cream next x
